I Give, Therefore I Am: The Primacy of Charity in the Christian Life

ADVENT LECTURE

December 5, 2013
Presenter: Gary Anderson

Basic to Advent is the miracle of the incarnation. But how are we to understand that doctrine? For the Christian tradition, Christ assumed human form in Bethlehem in order to illustrate God’s solidarity with all of us, but most importantly with those who suffer. To grasp the central mystery of the Christmas season, we must attend to Christ’s sacramental presence among the poor.

Cosponsored by The Church in the 21st Century Center
and the School of Theology and Ministry

Gary Anderson is the Hesburgh Professor of Catholic Theology, University of Notre Dame, and author of Charity: The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition (Yale University Press, 2013).
